On a bike that age I wouldn't be looking at the clocks to judge it's condition, not unless the owner has every MOT back to year dot, second hand clocks are just to cheap.
It's not always the number of miles a bike has done that matters, it's the way they have done them that counts. I know YC with disagree with me but well looked after bikes tend to look well looked after.....

If it's your first bike take someone with you who is seriously into them and knows what they are looking at, there's a fair few of them lurking on here so bound to be one near you.
